Actually, I of course know how to distinguish list emails from SPAMs. What I meant was Gerry sends out broadcast like sending SPAMS. There is no real difference between Gerry and SPAMers in terms of sending large volume of emails over the internet.

Web based forums don't distribute anything over the net. You click a bookmark and you see all posts there. If you don't click the bookmark there is no traffic associated with you. No, I don't mean something like Yahoo Groups. I am talking about something like:

http://www.apug.org/forums/forum13/

Take a peek yourself. You will understand why I regarded the list like a 486 processor still being used today.

Again I understand how people will resist changes. I am sure many of list members are participants of many modern as well as old fashioned forums. I am one and happen to think web based forum being far superior. Of course it's just my opinion.
